Thank you - gave me some much needed clarity and quiet reflection today - my 3 year old daughter received a brain injury last October - we are still grappling with the whole concept and what it will mean for her future - I have come to realise that my biggest fear is the lack of understanding of her condition as 'she looks fine' - I just want to protect her even though I know I can't be by her side for the rest of her life - the whole situation is emotionally crushing . . .

@aardvark142 Feel free to contact us through this site or our Facebook page about sharing brain injury awareness through our poster message campaign, acquiring brain injury awareness bumper decals etc... This type of injury has invisible challenges and deficits; cognitively, emotionally, behavioral and/or physically - hence the importance of sharing this awareness video and message to help the masses better understand this invisible epidemic.

I am an ABI survivor, had about 6 concussions. The 1st at 11 months falling from crib, last at 20 yrs was bad. At 53, I still experience effects of them. I have always suspected, & now more so after seeing this video. I've had lifelong effects since young. I function well enough that my hesitancies, uncertainties, lack of self-esteem seem more malingering than a real problem. I continue to improve via nonconventional means. It’s comforting & supporting to feel understood as I watched this video.

Thanks you for putting this video together, it really does a great job of explaining the variety of differences in brain conditions, and yet how their needs are similar.

Like you, we are working hard for Canadians affected by brain conditions, including their caregivers. We invite you and the members of your community as well. facebook.com/pages/My-Brain-Ma­tters/100581490018189 and on Twitter as MyBrainMatters.
